(DCNF)—Fox News political analyst Juan Williams on Tuesday downplayed the ongoing unrest in Los Angeles, claiming the city was “pretty quiet last night.”
Los Angeles was engulfed in riots following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation, prompting President Donald Trump to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops to the city on Saturday. During a segment on “Special Report with Bret Baier,” Williams acknowledged the violence before quickly shifting and downplaying it.
“I think we’ve all seen the video of police cars burning, and we know there was looting. I’ve seen at like a Nike store downtown, but I think it’s important to put that in context,” Williams said. “I don’t think life from what I hear from people in Los Angeles has been paralyzed by what’s going on. This is sort of concentrated in a very limited area, and things were pretty quiet last night, for example. I think everybody who’s watching can be disgusted with violence of any kind.”
Williams went on to criticize the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement priorities.
“I don’t think we want violence of any kind on American streets. We want to feel safe, but I think there’s also disgust, just to be fair here, with the idea that people who are waitresses and busboys and housekeepers are being picked up, people with no warrants, no criminal history,” Williams said. “This is not going after the criminals, the hardened criminals that President Trump said. And as a result, I think that, you know, the Wall Street Journal reported this morning that what you see is that the Trump administration wants to escalate.”
Williams claimed the Trump administration ramped up deportation efforts to meet campaign promises.
“They’re going harder to get more people to deport because they hadn’t met their own expectations, their campaign promises on how many people would be deported,” Williams said. Videos circulating online contradict Williams’ claim as Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Hailey Gomez posted videos on X showing chaos unfolding across Los Angeles last night.
Police also found a dead body on a downtown Los Angeles sidewalk early Tuesday morning after a night of rioting.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
